6.2 Saucepans suitable for use in induction cooking
The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties
and a sufficiently large base.
Use only saucepans with bases suitable for induction hot plates.
Suitable containers Unsuitable containers
• Enamelled steel containers with thick bases.
• Cast iron containers with an enamelled base.
• Containers in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic
stainless steel and aluminium with a special
base.
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof
glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted,
the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a
small amount of water in the container, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot
plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.
Use only containers with a perfectly flat bottom. Using a pan with an irregular bottom could jeopardise
the efficiency of the heating system so that the pan is not detected on the hot plate.
6.3 Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends
on the power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is
sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display.
6.4 Protection from hob overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the
room temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures forming in the electronics, the power
to the cooking zone is managed automatically.
6.5 Advice on energy-saving
Below you will find advice on how to use your hob effectively and economically.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the
container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats,
this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan
leads to a waste of energy.
